OK. for a landscape, I would say not smaller than 150px across.
But it depends on the contents. There is much to be gained and
not that much to lose with a very great number of pics in
question, to just have text links.

I favour this: no thumbnails at all, all text descriptions in a
list and the first text "link" exhibited right there big enough
(like 400px) to make it all look nice. This achieves much: the
user sees what he is to get by way of size and quality. The show
begins right there and then! The caption to the 400 on display is
be a link to even bigger and so on to each and every page.
